This is insane A federal judge in SDNY just ordered that this video of Trump offering $5000 if Republicans win the elections had to be DELETED It would sure be a shame if we all made it go viral again!

🚨NIGHT UPDATE | USA, a White House janitor who just retired after 22 years of service went to the media on his very last day — and completely EXPOSED Donald Trump. And what he revealed about what Trump did has left the entire internet speechless. 😭🇺🇸🔥 This man spent 22 years inside the White House. Cleaning the hallways that world leaders walked through. Mopping the floors outside the Oval Office. Working quietly, invisibly, faithfully — through multiple presidencies — and not once did any of it make the news. Nobody knew his name. Nobody stopped to ask. Until his very last day. Trump found out it was his last day — and stopped everything. He walked out of whatever meeting he was in. Walked down that hallway. Found this man. And stood in front of him — not as a President standing before a janitor — but as one human being standing before another human being who had given 22 years of his life to something bigger than himself.  He shook his hand. Looked him directly in the eyes. And said words so personal, so warm, so genuinely from the heart — that this man — this tough, quiet 22 year veteran who had seen everything inside those walls — broke down completely. Right there in the hallway. In front of everyone. Because in 22 years — through every administration, through every powerful person who had walked past him without a second glance — nobody had ever stopped. Nobody had ever truly seen him. Until Trump. And on his last day — after 22 years of invisibility — he finally felt the one thing every human being spends their whole life quietly searching for. “You matter. What you gave to this building, to this country — it matters. And I see you.” 😭🙏🇺🇸 That is what this janitor exposed about Donald Trump. Not a scandal. Not a secret. Not anything the media wanted you to see. Just a President with a good heart — who stopped for the man that everyone else walked past. Every single day. For 22 years. And that janitor — after 22 years of silence — could not keep this moment to himself. He went to the media. Told the world. And exposed the Trump that no camera had ever captured. Because some people deserve to have the world finally know exactly who they are when nobody is watching. 😭🙏🇺🇸 🫡 Type “HE SAW HIM 🔥” if this story hit your heart tonight. ❤️ Pass this to every American — because a President who stops for the janitor on his last day after 22 years deserves to have that story told in every corner of this country. 🙏 Pray — “Lord, bless every invisible worker who serves quietly — and bless the leaders who stop long enough to truly see them.” 😭🇺🇸 #Trump #fblifestyle #Lifestyle

TRUMP RENAMES A COUPLE OF BODIES OF WATER AND PEOPLE LOSE THEIR MINDS Hold on, you people started this renaming crap. For years, you erased the names of families who built schools because somebody decided the name was “triggering.” Aunt Jemima got evicted from her own syrup bottle. Uncle Ben got fired from the rice company. Statues were dragged down, buildings were renamed, and history was edited like somebody’s embarrassing Facebook post from 2009. But Trump gets ahold of the label maker and suddenly everybody cares about tradition? No. You don’t get to invent the Renaming Olympics and then throw a fit because Trump won the gold medal. You wanted to play crazy. Turns out we know the game too. FAFO. WELCOME TO LAKE AMERICA.

WHO IS SHE? Julie Falcon. 18. Singer, songwriter, producer. Berklee College of Music. Before the Savannah Bananas and the Firefighters even took the field at Wrigley, she stole the show. No vocal gymnastics. No statement. Just the anthem. For everyone deployed who doesn’t get to hear this live — this one’s for you. Until they all come home. 🇺🇸

He was born in poverty so deep his father never even lived to see him. Red Skelton’s dad — a former circus clown — died two months before he was born in Vincennes, Indiana. By age ten the red-headed kid was singing on street corners for spare change just to help feed his family. At fifteen he left home for traveling medicine shows, learning how to make strangers laugh while living out of a suitcase. Twenty years later that same boy was on national television every week, watched by nearly 40 million Americans. He gave the country Clem Kadiddlehopper, Freddie the Freeloader, and a closing line that still softens hearts: “Good night… and God bless.” He painted clowns, wrote music, and quietly gave away much of what he earned to children’s hospitals. One night in 1969 he stopped the show, looked into the camera, and explained the Pledge of Allegiance word by word the way a teacher once explained it to a poor kid from Indiana. What is it about growing up with almost nothing that teaches a man to give so much? If this hit you, drop a 🇺🇸 or tag someone who still remembers real comedy. (Story compiled from historical accounts of Red Skelton’s life.)
His father walked out just before Christmas and never came back. Jackie Gleason was nine years old, living in a cold Brooklyn tenement on Chauncey Street, when Herbert Gleason collected his paycheck, burned every photo of himself in the house, and disappeared forever. Jackie’s older brother had already died. His mother Mae took a job in a subway change booth and raised him alone in grinding poverty. By nineteen she was gone too. Jackie had 36 cents in his pocket. He hit the streets, hustled pool, worked the rough clubs, and refused to go home until he made it. Years later that same kid from Brooklyn became “The Great One.” He gave America Ralph Kramden — the loud, big-hearted bus driver who lived at the exact same address Jackie once did — and turned working-class struggle into comedy gold that still hits home decades later. “How sweet it is!” wasn’t just a catchphrase. It was the sound of a kid who started with almost nothing and still found a way to laugh. If this one landed, drop a 🚌 or tag someone who still quotes The Honeymooners. (Story compiled from historical accounts of Jackie Gleason’s life.)

It was great to visit the welding program at James Rumsey Technical Institute in Berkeley County, West Virginia. I started my career as a welder, and it was great to get back behind the welding shield! As President Trump works to reindustrialize America, skilled workers, like welders, will be essential to building the new American economy. We need YOU to be the next generation of welders who forge our nation’s future 👨‍🏭

Protests happening around the country are anything but organic. A billionaire in Shanghai is now the CCP's cheerleader, and the money trail shows he's funding protests to squash American innovation. Let’s wake up, America! It's time to connect the dots and see who's really behind the curtain! bit.ly/4x2wg9y

If there is anyone at the DOJ who sees this post, I hope you can act on it. In the last week the DOJ fired the attorneys who weaponized the FACE Act against pro-lifers and vacated the convictions and charges in the Proud Boys J6 Sedition trial. This is phenomenal news and is a great sign from this DOJ. Now let's help out those brave parents who were targeted by Biden's DOJ for going to school board meetings and advocating for their children. They've been left behind. We can't leave them behind. Some of these parents lost everything fighting their school districts for the authority to make decisions for their children. Businesses were destroyed. Lives were ruined. People were arrested and jailed. I know the process is slow. But please let's keep that process moving. Please deliver the justice that is so deserved to these brave patriots. Please.
